Maytag Undercounter Trash Compactor is louder than expected.

The Maytag Undercounter Trash Compactor was overall the best price of all the compactors we looked at that had the qualities we wanted. I didn't think I'd like the step on door opening, but actually I love it! It works smoothly and is great when you have both hands full or wet hands. The compactor looks really nice. We are having to do some cabinet re-work because our old compactor was smaller and they don't make that size anymore. I wasn't sure if I'd like a bigger one, but I really do. The wheels make it really easy to position too.

The only downside that I've found is that the unit is a bit noisier than I expected. However, the cycle isn't as long as the old one we had, no even though it's noisier, its annoying for a shorter period of time. I expect once we finish re-working the cabinet that some of the noise will be lessened.

All in all, this was a great purchase and we're happy with the unit.
